    Gator's Combo Platter
    Amanda S.

    Gators Dockside was a fabulous place for our work holiday get together! They were able to accommodate us with 1 days notice! They and the tables set for us and served us drinks and food quickly. I ordered the Southwest Egg Rolls which were the perfect combo with the Boodles Blueberry Rickey. Quite a few from our group ordered the combo platter which was a bit too much fried for my liking but everyone enjoyed it. I snagged a bite of the pretzel and queso and will def be ordering that next time. A colleague of mine goes every Wednesday for Trivia! I also noticed that there are different activities throughout the week from poker to bingo so if you're looking for a chill night out during the week, this seems to be the place to go. :)

    Loved, Loved this restaurant the ambiance was nice, the waitor and bartender were very nice and we went twice on our visit in Orlando and one night they had live music which was nice. We went with our niece and nephew's, and everyone was pleased with the foods and drinks we ordered. My sweet and spicy jalapeños burger was delicious. The second night we went, I had seafood pasta, which was also very good. The service was very nice

    I love coming here every Monday for all you can eat wings , don't miss out. They are so delicious with like 20+ different flavors for your wings to try also the waiter are nice and fast. You will have like variety of options on where they are grilled, crispy and I forgot the other one. Oh yes breaded

    Very sad lemon pepper wings
    Nicole S.

    Gator's used to be one of my favorite places to get wings. Time and time again, i have been disappointed but nothing like my last experience. I called in an order of 35 wings for a small get together to watch a basketball game. The gentleman over the phone was friendly and repeated my ordered to me as well as the time i was going to pick the wings up. When i arrived, not only was my order not ready...it had become lost in the matrix. The same guy at the bar i spoke to was the same gentleman who took my order over the phone. He had no explanation for the lost order. He stated he would speak to his manager and took $5 off of a $57 bill. He also stated i could wait a few minutes for someone else's wings that were almost ready. $50 for 35 wings is a lot but my friends wanted wings. So i waited about 10 minutes... Well...it gets worse. I get to my friends house and most of the dang wings were burned! The lemon pepper were supposed to be sauced...instead they were dry rubbed, over cooked, and burned - not edible. The hot teriyaki and caribbean jerked were also burned and carbonized. Crispy does not mean burned to blackness. Terrible. I wanted to call for a refund but didn't want to deal with it. Very disappointed in the service and food.

    Chicken Philly Cheesesteak with a side of Coleslaw
    Jackie S.

    Ordered the Parmesan garlic Wings & honey garlic Wings and two orders of Philly cheesesteak, one for chicken and the other with steak from Uber eats and it was one buy get one free from each. We decided to get pick up and it was overall a great experience. Pick up was easy, food was well made and tasted fresh and delicious. Only downside was there were no utensils or packets of ketchup & Mayo on the side which unfortunately due to a recent move we have neither but we managed. Would buy again.

    Many are still wearing masks. Can smell delicious charred meat through mine.

    I've been to this Gator's numerous times and it's usually pretty good. In the past, I've had their wings (Grilled with scooter sauce), Rib dinner (had a great price on a full rack), and numerous appetizers, drinks, and desserts. On this visit, it was right when the state opened back up with 100% capacity in restaurants. They did not require a mask, however, staff wore masks and most patrons did as well. I heard they had a veggie wing so I was eager to try it and talked a few others into going out. They also had a Beyond Burger so it's nice to see a sports bar offer items for vegans and vegetarians. The veggie wings in Scooter Sauce were Ok. They were kind of like chicken nuggets. They came with a bunch of fries which made it worth the money, but I wouldn't go back for that. The Fish and Chips was excellent as were the onion petals. The fish sandwich was Ok and would have been 1000% better if they used the same fish from the Fish and Chips. The Steak Poutine was a favorite as was the burger. Service was good and a manager stopped by and sat for a bit to talk to us and thank us for dining with them. That was a nice touch. The reason I didn't give it more stars is the Deland Location was off the hook delicious in comparison. How could 2 different locations be that different in quality? Maybe it's the smaller menu in Deland, but it was a noticeable difference. 3.5 stars but rounding up due to the Service.

It's such a fun concept and makes the whole experience so much more enjoyable. It's a great spot for a night out with adults, but it's also perfect for families with kids during the day. The atmosphere is always fun and welcoming. If I had one small suggestion, it would be that the beer could be served a little colder. Mine has been a bit warm on both visits.

There appeared to be two people checking on the people who were in the front of the house. You can sit wherever you like and eventually someone will come in and take your order. The person who waited on us did not normally work on Monday nights. She was very pleasant. I thought it took a little longer to get my food. Luckily the game was going to start soon so it took my mind off of having to wait so long. I ordered the smash burger and fries. The fries were crispy and hot. The smash burger was sub par. Burger, cheese, bun. Absolutely zero seasoning. Toppings were extra so I just got it with cheddar cheese. Flavor wise it was definitely lacking. The wings were crispy and the teriyaki sauce was good. I asked for my check and waited over 20 minutes. The person who I asked for my checked walked by like she had forgotten that I had even asked. When she mentioned oh I'll be right back with your check and the wings! I had to go to the bar to get it because the waiter never brought it over. Now I came here to watch the game. While it was playing on all the TVs, there was no sound. I am not sure if it had anything to do with the large party that was there, but I was disappointed that they did not have any sound playing for the game. Hopefully this was an off night, was hoping for a better experience for a bar that is supposed to be an Eagles bar.

They had great decor and the game was on TV all around the bar. It was perfect for us. They were SUPER busy and could tell they were short staffed. The servers were all very friendly and said it would be just a bit for food to come out. No problem since we could watch the game while we waited. We ordered some pretzel bites for an appetizer and that came out pretty quick to give us something to snack on as well. My oldest did the shrimp burrito and she really loved it. It was also huge so she was able to take half home to have the next day. I shared the Greggie (Philly) since I was not too hungry and it was good. The others had the wings and they liked those as well. It did take a while for the food, but since the server communicated that before we ordered we didn't have a concern with it. Very chill vibe and would go again when on that side of town.
